After reading all these comic book posts, I couldn't help but peep the "old" comic book collection.

My immersion into this arena peaked around the time Image blew the f*ck up. Anyway, I realized I have some comics I never have heard of again. I suppose they were somewhat short-lived.

A bunch of Ultraverse Comics:
-Prime
-Hardcase
-Freex
-Mantra
-The Exiles

-Trencher
-Savage Dragon

I wonder how much these are worth.

Anyhoo, what about the rest of you?

A lot of the 90's bad girl stuff (i.e. lady death, the revival of vampirella)
Ash
The Darkness (at one point a well read book, but the damn thing is constantly like months behind a regular release schedule)

Anything Dark Horse comics ever put out

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life.

..."Jonah Hex".

One of my favorite comics when I was a kid. He pops up in random cameos every now and again, but hasn't had a title of his own in a good, long time.

A great character...part western, part sci-fi, with one of the first comic book characters I remember that was neither good nor bad, just out for himself. An ugly motherfucker too, which made him that much cooler.


http://www.lonely.geek.nz/jonahhex.html

dc's putting out a new series in a few months. can't remember if it's ongoing or mini, though.

"You will kneel before me, Jor-El! First you, then one day, your heirs!!"

in any case, i'm looking forward to it... Jonah Hex was the only Western comic i really LOVED back in the day. hell, i even loved it when he went to the future in HEX (now *that* was a slept-on series)

also, the three miniseries written by Southern horror novelist Joe R. Landsdale and drawn by Timothy Truman are worth checking out: Jonah Two-Gun Mojo, Riders of the Worm and Such, and Shadows West

The man who thinks at 50 the same way he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life - Muhammed Ali

was my shit! The first comic I started collecting. I think the whole atmoshere of that comic is unmatched still. I think it was the only DC comic that didn't have the approved seal on it's covers. Shame it was only 13 issues long. Slept on indeed...

>dirt&water<

i think the last one i read was... 8 or 9

what happened at the end, anyway? i'm assuming he went back to 1875

HEX lasted 18 issues. Haven't read this since the late eighties. Lets see... It's hinted that he'll make it back one day, but he doesn't go back in THIS book.

>dirt&water<

will Hex remember the events of HEX once he returns to his own time

when he appeared in the JLU cartoon, he made reference to having been to the future, but i don't know if that carried over to the comic, too

People tend to shit on the whole New Universe concept but it produced some decent books. What was interesting was towards the end of the line they completely changed the origins and ideas of some of the books.

They just re-vamped the series not too long ago. I haven't had any interest in picking it up, so I can't speak on its quality or its faithfulness to the earlier series. But it's there.

I heard Dale Keown got hooked on that blow, so Pitt disappeared. Damn shame, because Pitt was one of the coolest looking superheroes ever, alien-Hulk wanna-be or not.

I really dug Keown, although when he left Hulk to do Pitt I was pretty disappointed. Keown sorta looked like a dope fiend, come to think of it. So he's not doing any comic work these days?

Though #43 seems to suggest otherwise. I just know I heard from afew people that Keown had a nasty coke habit, which was why it kept taking so long for issues of Pitt to come out, and why when they did they were so short. Wizard once joked about him becoming a total recluse.

I really loved his run in Hulk. I haven't seen much with him these days, but I'm not nearly as plugged into comics as I once was.

Nah, Keown has got some sort of rock band. That's his main passion, so he only does comic work occasionally at the moment. Damn shame, too. For a mofo that hasn't been working, he keeps improving his style. Check out Incredible Hulk: The End for some next level shit.

Fun is the new gritty

If anyone happens to have seen it in their local score I'd gladly pay a finders fee for it. I read the Hulk for years (blah blah blah) and I can say Keown with Mark Farmer on inks was the best regular art team that book has ever seen. I dunno about the alleged coke habit but I know he's doing work for Top Cow's Darkness book.

That shit sold out type quick. I got mine the second the shop opened. By the end of the day that shit was gone in NJ.

Fun is the new gritty

Marvel had just started that no-reprint policy and it had a low print run. I searched for that shit forever and then just forgot about it. I'd still like to get though.

When X-Men began to repeat it self and start it's downward spiral, Elementals came on the scene and did the gritty, real world, paranormal, dysfunctional superhero thing long before the Authority.

MONGO IS A RACIST PIECE OF SHIT.

I picked up a TON of New Universe stuff back in the day from some 10 cent bin. I still haven't read them.

Atari Force
http://home.hiwaay.net/~lkseitz/comics/AtariForce/

like Marvel's GI JOE and Transformers, this started out as a simple product placement book, but developed into one of the best sci-fi comics of the 1980s, even though it's oddly forgotten today

E-Man
http://alectronn.homestead.com/Eman.html
http://www.toonopedia.com/eman.htm

one of the earliest self-parodic superhero titles that paved the way for the likes of Giffen, DeMatteis & Maguire's Justice League and now The Defenders (especially when it moved to First Comics in the 1980s). i'm looking for back issues of this shit everywhere... the first comic i ever bought with my own money was E-Man#1 now that i think about it

Blue Devil
http://www.toonopedia.com/bluedevl.htm

truly the most hilarious comic book of the 1980s... god, how i miss it

Omega Men
http://www.mykey3000.com/cosmicteams/omegamen/

ROM the Spaceknight
http://home.hiwaay.net/~lkseitz/comics/Rom/

another title that started out as a medium for selling toys but eventually developed into into its own compelling saga

Brian Michael Bendis'"Powers"
IDW horror comics "Wake the Dead" being the current favorite
"Ex Machina"
"Strange Girl"
"The Walking Dead" (loving the zombie revival)

All of the Marvel "house Of M" related stuff (I have no choice as the man of the house is a huge X Men fan)

I used to like "NYX" before it got so behind on release schedule that you couldn't even remember what happened last ish.

The "Bite Club" miniseries was cool, as was the "Madrox " mini.

"daredevil"

and every X men title known to man ends up in my house someplace

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life.

>Brian Michael Bendis'"Powers"

yep... i only read the trades, though (the pacing is too slow for me to follow from issue to issue). i've been waiting for the next collection, though the last one let me down a little

>IDW horror comics "Wake the Dead" being the current favorite

i finally read "30 Days of Night" and i was a bit disappointed

>"Ex Machina"

a book i have been meaning to get up on

>"Strange Girl"

i always want to pick this up but i never do...

>"The Walking Dead" (loving the zombie revival)

another title i need to start reading

>All of the Marvel "house Of M" related stuff (I have no choice
>as the man of the house is a huge X Men fan)

bleh. LOL

>I used to like "NYX" before it got so behind on release
>schedule that you couldn't even remember what happened last
>ish.

WOW! another NYX reader! i thought i was the only one! i picked it up just because of the Josh Middleton art, but the story really drew me in

>The "Bite Club" miniseries was cool.

yep... there's supposed to be a sequel coming up too...

The man who thinks at 50 the same way he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life - Muhammed Ali

he was one of those great 1960s Charlton characters that DC eventually bought the rights to in the late 1980s. so far, i don't think they've done with him, though.

i loved all those funky old Charlton comics, though

http://www.angelfire.com/comics/nolancole2003/Pages/Goldenage.html

of course, most of you probably know that it was Alan Moore's intention to cast Watchmen using the original Charlton characters, but Dick Giordano didn't want to render them unusable after Watchmen, so instead he told Moore to create new characters who were similar to the originals. therefore:

The Question became Rorschach
Blue Beetle became Nite Owl
Nightshade became Silk Shadow
Peacemaker became The Comedian
Captain Atom became Dr. Manhatten

etc.

That was by Peter David, right? And wasn't it that he didn't want to release it through Marvel or anything because he didn't want to give up the rights to the characters? I can barely remember now.

i'm certain Perez drew it (for some reason i thought he wrote it too)

but it's possible that Peter David wrote it too because i remember hearing some relatively recent news about the characters making a guest appearance in David's "Fallen Angel" at DC

in any case, i *believe* the book came out... because i remember picking up an issue, flipping through it and being somewhat disappointed that there wasn't that much "Sachs" in it, if you know what i mean...

I know I bought the damn series but the only thing I remember about it was boobies on display arround issue 3. I figured PAD and Geroge Perez was a can't lose combo but that series was really forgetable. Now David and Perez' Hulk: Future Imperfect still stands as one of my favorite and best Hulk stories ever.

The group with Black Bolt as the leader. Not sure if Marvel brought them back or not since I don't collect comics any more. I have issues 1-10 and then a few after that. They stopped the series in the late 70s.

they actually had a pretty well-received miniseries not long ago

It used to be sort of like an unofficial Avengers. Members would come and go. Sub Mariner, Hulk and Ghost Rider were all members at one point.

The Inhumans always had the same lineup

and the Defenders actually have a new miniseries out right now!

JM DeMatteis (who had a classic run on Defenders in the 1980s) is writing it again, but this time he's working with Keith Giffen and Kevin Maguire (who he collaborated with on the old Justice League/Justice League America book)

so yeah... they've gone ahead and made it a humorous superhero book. it's pretty good.

Damn you're right. Both books were out around the same time.

Yeah, I'm thinking about the Defenders. The group with Dr Strange. I'm really surprised they brought that group back. It was never a really popular book back in the day. Who's the line up in the new series?

http://www.toonopedia.com/champs.htm

i've been unable to find a single American reader who remembers them, but they inexplicably had a series under Marvel UK that was kinda popular round my way at one point

I've heard of this, but I've never read an issue.

Captain Carrot & His Amazing Zoo Crew (remember when they teamed up with the JLA- Just'A Lotta Animals?)

Power Pack (shouldn't they all be young adults by now?)

Challengers of the Unknown (I wasn't too familiar with the originals but I enjoyed the update that DC did about 5-6 years ago)

The Fallen Angels (Sunspot is another favorite)

Remember that god-awful Teen Titans they tried to run by us with the Atom as a member? I was pissed because they killed off Joto and Generation X killed off Synch. Why does the overachieving black teenager always have to be the first to go?

WildCATS (probably the best Image book that I can think of)

Marvel Team-Up (I always had a thing for this book)

Whatever happened to Starfox?

Where's Wonder Man? Last I remember, he & Scarlet Witch had a thing going on.

Banshee never got the respect that he deserved. He & Dazzler would have been a tough duo.

Triathalon...remember the storyline about people being mad because the Avengers didn't have any members of color? Did he get kicked off the team or something?

Peace,
